Invasive aspergillosis can be difficult to diagnose and control, and conventional drug treatment is often highly toxic, producing medical complications that further compromise patients' health status and escalate health care costs. This article describes the clinical manifestations of Aspergillus infection and discusses approaches to its therapy, including newer pharmaceutical agents with fewer adverse effects, which offer the potential to improve outcomes and substantially lower the cost of treating aspergillosis.
